Awakening Black Ops 3 DLC: 9 Things to Know Now

Gauntlet Black Ops 3 Map Video & Details

The Gauntlet Black Ops 3 map is in a military training facility and takes the threelane map design approach quite literally with three distinct environments to run through and fight.

Players can run through a rainy urban environment, a sub-zero artic battlefield in the middle or a tropical jungle on the far side. Each of these offers a different visual look, many options to wallrun, and will require a variation of strategy.

The image up top offers a look at how this setup works, with entry lanes into each of the simulations that you will enter as you play the maps.

Treyarch did not outline exactly what modes this map will see rotation in, but it looks like one that could offer a lot of fun for TDM or Kill Confirmed.

The official Gauntlet Map preview is above, but we recommend the gameplay footage for a better look.

They don’t sell season passes with a month early release. If you have a ps4 and bought the season pass, it says on the card that you get it a month early with play station, not a month early with the season pass, therfore everyone with a ps4 will get it a month early.

NO THAT’S NOT TRUE AND I’M HIGHLY UPSET WITH COD……SONY…..PLAYSTAY……FOR LIEING TO US AND TRYIN TO PLAY US FOR FOOLS!!!!! BUY THIS AND U GET EARLY ACCESS …….BLAH BLAH!!!!! MAP PACKS COME OUT IN FEB. SO WE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO IT NOW IN JANUARY!!!!! Xbox BEEN on it!!! So they GONNA flip it around so PS4………no they pushed date back to March!!!!!!!!!!! ITS NOT EARLY ITS REGULAR!!!!!!

you are saying that xbox gamers aren’t real gamers and pc games arent good games srry but if you are a gamer please let yourself be an gamer by saying an oppinion not something what is wrong. Xbox one is better thats my oppinion becasue I don’t like the controlles on ps 3 and 4 that does not mean that ps suck.

To Armormaikel. No most people that play games now a days are real gamers no matter what system there on. Also I’m not saying to the gay-Box one as a bad system its a great media center but that’s what it was built around or they wouldn’t of made the system so hard for programmers to make games for it. I guess what I should b saying I really hate Microsoft after what they did with the public with there 360s. When they screwed the people when they new there first edition of the 360 was not working properly in the first place but they released it anyway hoping most peoples systems wouldn’t break down till after the 1 year warranty. As for the controller that’s more or less a personal preference.

All systems are for gamers but as far as better games. What the exclusives to the Gay-Box. The media center and the exclusive games is the only reason people buy it.

Just because we don’t have Xbox one or pc don’t mean we r not cheap its that we don’t wanna waste money when we are gonna play the same games on different consoles. And if you read this it’s like dissing your self and if u diss us tha diss tha self

Right it is a waste of money to have 2 Co soles and same games on both

If your meaning Lord_Kuku. I have a very well built custom PC gaming machine. I also have a all 3 Xboners and all 4 Playstations. I use my My PC more than anything, Then I use my Xboners (There very good paper weights) It holds down the papers on my desk when the fan is blowing. lol

If your referring to me (Lord_Kuku) I play most games on my pc but I like to have a console as well. So I decided to buy the better built system. Also dont like giving money to a company that ripped off the public intentionally.

@ Julia, no they didn’t lie, you just can’t read. It’s coming out in Feb on Playstation, and coming out a month later on Xbox because Sony made a deal with Treyarch. When you buy the season pass, you are getting each map pack for less money than if you were to buy each one individually, sheesh.

A month wait isn’t that big of a deal. Glad this exclusive deal isn’t’ going any further because multiplatform games should be equal to all platforms. No one is going to buy one system over another for 30 days of DLC wait period.

I wonder if everyone getting rid of there Gay-Boxes for PS4 because after the first 6 months of there release PS4 announced they had sold over 7 million units. Where the Gay-Box announced the had shipped over 5 million unites. Once again PS4 was built for gaming not to be a media center. Graphics r close right now but there still kinda new as time goes on people will see the PS4 can put way more into there games than a GAY-Box One. They proved that already when they had to change some thing in BO III on Gay-Box cause the system couldn’t handle it. PS4 and PC they didn’t have to change a thing.

You broke ass gamers are missing out on so many games , only one console I feel sorry for you , gamings about the games not the hardware . Keep missing out on awesome games because your sony fanboys your only hurting yourselves lmao

Why in the hell are you comparing PS4 and PC together? PC is dominate over PS4 so please stop saying that they are the good things. I agree PC is great, its all I play on, but trust me, you can’t compare those two together. It just doesn’t work that way :3 Have a Nice Day

CS4 All day !!for All those x Box Players out there dont cry x Box had there shot with dlc maps forever!!! Now that ps4 have its early for once!!!!you mad bro ha ha !!!get a ps4 u broke lames !!!!PS4 All day!!Fuk x box

you may not be able to tell right now but as time goes on the specs in the ps4 are better than a Gay-Box One. sooner or later both systems will hit there max but it will b a longer time for the PS4 to get there than the Gay-Box One. Sorry to all you Gay-Box user I just can say #-Box cause of what they did to the public when they release the Gay-Box 360. But I will say this I do use my Gay-Box more than my PS4. It’s a great paper weight when the fan is blowing my papers on my desk dont move an inch. LOL

@ Lance, yh but wait until Sony make the next console which is planned to be 4K, unless Microsoft think of things quickly it won’t be long before Sony has locked Microsoft out of the market altogether. Xbox will be totally obsolete.

Right on man PS4s were build for gaming not built for media center. So if u want to listen to music, watch movies or TV show and pics ya a Gay-Box One is what u want. But if u want a system that was built for gaming get a PS4, that’s what they were build around gaming not a media center.

Lmfao saying only ps4 wad built for gaming. How is this possible when they are the same in very many ways. Only thing ps4 has is the slightly better graphics card. Though it’s not by much. It’s like if you had two Asus Pcs exactly the same. One has a GeForce GTX 980 and the other using GeForce GTX 980i. Not much difference, def not noticeable. Need to wait for games and TVs to catch up.

So your saying that when the ps4 was released. It had a complete media center like the gay-box? I don’t think so. It seems that when the gay-box one was released there system was able to do everything like a media center. When the ps4 was released all we could do is play games and look at the net. So it seems to me that the gay-box is a media center with a gaming system put into in and the ps4 is a system for gaming with a media center optional. The funny thing is that a lot of people have both systems and all they buy are the exclusive games for there gay-box. If the game is on both console they buy the game for the PS4 (wonder why).

PS4 and Xbox One multiply the power of Xbox 360 and PS3. More importantly, they were built with smarter internal designs, drawing from mistakes of last-generation consoles.

Chip manufacturer AMD benefitted the most from these upgrades. Xbox One has a custom 1.75GHz AMD 8-core CPU, a last-minute upgrade over its original 1.6GHz processor.

The PS4 CPU remained clocked at 1.6GHz and contains a similar custom AMD 8-core CPU with x86 based architecture.

This represents a roughly 10% increase in processing power for Xbox One, but the opposite is true when it comes to the all-important graphics processor.

PS4 graphics specs teardown PS4 has a user-replaceable hard drive

PS4 boasts a 1.84 teraflop GPU that’s based on AMD’s Radeon technology. The Xbox One graphics chip, also with an AMD Radeon GPU, has a pipeline for 1.31 teraflops.

Microsoft claims that as of last June’s Xbox One update, Kinect-free games can reclaim 10% of the GPU that was reserved for system level processing like Kinect-related skeletal tracking data. But developers still have to take advantage of this cache in new games or patch titles.

Right now, the PS4 specs make room for faster graphics rendering than Xbox One, especially when combined with Sony’s choice in superior system memory.

u must b a Gay-Box user and crying about having to wait an extra 30 days. Well us PS4 gamers we had to wait 30 days on BO & BO II. Sure ya we got upset but we didn’t cry about it like all the Gay-Box users are doing and sell the game cause I had to wait 30 more days. Well best of luck to ya its your loss not to the people that understand what the definition of fairness is.

You’re obsessed with being gay, lol. Every other word is gay this gay that. As for the differences. . The ps4 has a slight graphics advantage by what 20fps or 40fps (at very best, but not likely going to see that much of a differential.) Now at this time the ONLY way to notice the difference is by the game creators. So far there aren’t really any games that look better side by side. Another thing to consider, TVs. Your TV has to be capable of running the higher frame rate, so that you can notice. Basically at this time and for the next couple years id bet, buying xbone or ps4 will be up to which controller you like. As for the dlc wait, it’s 30 days. ..oh well. Xbone has their exclusives as well.

At least you dont seem to be crying like some other people having to wait 30 day you understand fairness. I mean hell that one guy and 7 of his friends are selling there Xboner’s because he has to wait 30 days. There is that better than gay lol. The really only reason I dont like the Xboner is cause what they did to the public with there 360s. They screwed all the people that bought the first edition Xboners and dint care. They new there systems were bad but shipped them anyway just hoping that there system wouldn’t get that red light till there warranty ran out. The Xboner isn’t a bad system but it is a media center with a gaming system added and the ps4 is a gaming system with a media center optional.

I have Xbox at the moment and have not really taken much notice of the 30 day wait. Usually I’ll have other more important things to do. But in the end its only fair, Playstation had to wait 30 days all the time for DLC so its about time Xbox took the spot of waiting. Soon I will be getting a PS4 myself, I would spend more time on Xbox but this Backward compatibility thing is VERY slow going. They announced that only 150 games where coming this year! If you were a full fledged company you’d be able to get a ton more games that that.

He never claimed to have a Xbox. He said he was selling Black Ops because the maps were shitty, not because PS4 gets them first.

dudes wife would have worked 67 hours a week for 4 weeks to make $18404

Well its the PC gamers by far but next to that PS4 has millions more players. According to how many units have been sold between PS4s and Gay-Boxes

As of Jan. 3, Sony stated it has sold 35.9 million PS4 consoles globally since launching the product in November of 2013. The PS4 could eventually challenge the lifetime sales of 155 million PS2 units.

Microsoft also announced strong results for the holiday season, but did not mention sales figures for the Xbox One. Microsoft focused on its exclusive games, noting “Halo 5: Guardians,” “Rise of the Tomb Raider,” “Forza Motorsport 6” and “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” sold more than one million units during the period. The last estimate of Xbox One consoles sold — based on earnings reports — was around 15 million units.

Whats really sad is all u Gay-Box users stayed with them when they screwed u over with the 360 that’s y I hate the gay-Box. But back to the real subject at hand here is the fact is that all im reading is how bad the Gay-Box users are crying because the PS4 is gonna get the DLC 30 days early this time around. Sure us PS4 people where upset when we had to wait 30 days but we did cry like u guys r. Hell someone said he and 7 of his friends r getting rid of the game cause of that reason. I mean come on stop your crying.

What no more comments about someone knowing someone’s aunts friends cousins nephews uncles friends brothers half dog cat making 69 dollars an hrs and $69000 last month so I can reply to it. Jeez what a shame.

I don’t know why everyone cry’s over whos a real gamer. well I think a real gamer is a person who likes games no mater what console or pc its on….. that’s just my opinion and just like opinions they will vary with each person.

Well i personally thank they need to release them at the same time the only reason Sony did that is so more people would buy it. And as far as people being broke both systems cost the same it just what people like some like xbox and some like ps4 i have both and they dont have any diff. I just like my on better. Unfair how they r doing xbox and the game was originaly made for xbox not ps.

Just going to put forward what I think about this whole thing and its quite simple. Firstly, who is the real gamer? Answer is everyone! No matter what console your on your a gamer and there’s no arguing with that. Secondly, for the people saying its unfair that PS4 get’s DLC early…ITS NOT. If you think logically you might find that PS had to wait 30 days for DLC through years of COD titles. And finally, all the bickering about which console is better is so irrelevant, if your that bothered about it then keep it to yourself. Your in a big world and you should know putting up threads either saying Xbox is better or PS is better, your going to get people giving stern looks. Honestly I think its adorable that people are seriously bickering about a gaming device :D. And for people also saying there is no difference between Black ops 3 on both PS4 & Xbox One you might find that after playing The Giant on both devices it only snows on PS4, now this could be related to frame rate perhaps…but…there is a way to cause a temporary blizzard of snow on The giant. Get the Killing time gobblegum/ Get a PAP raygun/ activate killing time/ shoot the jammed clock at the front of the facility. Your welcome.

I fear for our generation. Just looking at the new zombies map and I find 30 people bashing consoles… Next thing we know someone’s going to be president based on which console is more popular, the PS4, or the X-Box One. You all laugh now but people laughed when Donald Trump announced he was running for president.

Since when did gaming become about who owns what console? If you’re a real gamer you wouldn’t care about what other play it on, you would just talk about the games. I’m a passionate gamers and I think all ‘gamers’ discuss is consoles, let’s just share our enthusiasm for the games themselves and let the person decide what platform is best for them to play on.

I find it completely bs how we both paid the same price but they still get it a month early? Are we not as important as playstaion users? Xbox and Microsoft needs to sit down and think things over. Makes me want to sell my xbox and transfer over to PS. This is America where we always complain about equal rights and they can’t even get it right on a damn video game that both people paid the same price

Lord_Kuku how is your PS4s’ graphics card gonna keep you from getting your face blow off? You’re not a real gamer… real gamers dont act like douche bags over something so simple as a console :P The main purpose is to interact and meet new players/friends.. not being a douche nugget on a website

People are so damn petty now a days. Fighting over the most minuscule of things… its like a child getting mad because the kid next to them has a ball that’s a different color… people have lost the whole concept of video games… you wanna fight over who has what console and which is better…. What happened to the days where you had a NS4 and your friend had something like an Atari? It didn’t matter which you thought was better since you could sit down and have fun and interact with the people you care about. I remember being younger and having Xbox with Halo 2. My friend would come over and play it since he had a playstation. even better he would bring his playstation and we would play games like spyro. It was about the game and beating your friend in 1v1 slayer… not fighting about who has what console….

Ok guys, this DLC on PC is fake.. I bought this last night, and no i have played like 12h on HC Domination, and i cant play those DLC maps in those Hardcore modes.. WHY? in PS4 u can play those maps in everymode, but on same if u play bo3 in ur pc. In match search, it wont even give option to vote those new maps, they dont even exist there in votelist. Im so mad bcoz only mode those are working and will offer those new maps are moshpit. I say this is bullshit, tell me if im going wrong way. Thank.

why can’t microsoft suck it up and up and release the dlc for 360.it makes me so mad that we were duped into thinkin we were getting a honest game.I have wrote to all the major gaming studios and have had no response. They better be release it for the xbox 360 in May I pray.why have the game for all platforms if you aint gonna give it to everyone. I call that being cheap.there is stilln alot of gamers on the old gen platforms so it would still be profitable.it wouldn’t be a total lose.

All of you calling people poor need to shut the hell up. Not everyone has the money these days . You all act like its a bad thing to be poor. No it aint.Just because we cant afford your standards doesnt mean we are poor. Im sorry we cant meet your expectations of a “real gamer” . Grow up and stop bagging on poor gamers. Who seriously gives a crap if we cant afford all the top stuff? Seriously some people work their butt of to just get one console and you all acting like its so wrongful to be poor and game Bagging on us . Not everyone can afford it so shut up about that please.

Ok we bought the awakening pack and eclipse about three weeks ago and have only played the awakening maps about 4 times. I think it should have it’s on playlist like Nuketown and eclipse so the ones who bought awakening can actually play it! Oh I’m on ps4. Is anyone else having this issue? I talked to support and all they say is it’s in rotation.lies all lies

I’m having same issue. I bought the awakening dlc maps and have yet to play or even have the option to play on any of those maps in the pack. I feel like that if I go to core I will be able to find a game, but who likes to play core? I’m strictly hardcore only, and this really bugs me because this article is the reason I bought the dlc in the first place. I THOUGHT I was going to be able to play them on hardcore… Lies!!!
